Memoral Day In Wyoming





For those of you who don't know, this family since Todd has lived in Utah has attend a annual Seilaff Family Reunion in Rawlins, Baggs, and Savory Wyoming. This is where Todd's Mother grew up and where our family plots are located. Todd's Grandma Helen Barnheisel (Seilaff) was one of 16 children. so the descendants get together every year and create havoc on the these small towns. Savory, where the Frontier plots are in a cemetery located on the eastern hillside of town in a memorial service then the company adjourns to the old school house that has been turned into the Carbon County history museum for a potluck BBQ lunch. Savory is the smallest town we visit with only a population of 39.
The rest of the time on Sunday was spent at Robby Seilaff's acreage due to our cousin Pat driving over and unearthing a buried mount of concrete and damaged the driveline, gas tank and muffler. we waited at Robby's until the tow truck came from Rawlins (75 miles away) to pick up the rental Car Pat was driving and then back to the hotel.
it's always a story when the family comes together. this one just was really expensive. Sorry Pat.
